My experience with this
hand cream:
This is my usual night hand cream which I've been using
daily since past couple of weeks now. I usually use L'occitane Lavender handcream in morning and this particular P2 hand balm at night. The reason being
that P2 hand balm is super rich in formula. Though non greasy, it takes some
time to get absorbed in my hands, though not quite a lot - just a few seconds
more than what L'occitane hand cream takes.
P2 ultra soft hand balm comes in variety of colored tubes
with flip open cap. I however chose the yellow colored tube. This one has lemon
extracts and smells divinely of lemon and sugar. It has a sweet lemon smell,
which really feels good. The balm is quite moisturizing to my hands and keeps
them nourished for hours. Earlier I used to have a habit of applying hand cream
every time I'd wash my hand with water. But, with the regular use of L'occitane lavender handcream and P2 hand balm, my hand cream usage has come down to twice only - one
for morning and the other for night, and this routine has worked quite well in
making my hands softer, with even skin tone and brighter look.
Quick list of pros
and cons that I've felt about this hand balm:
Pros:
1) Comes in a lovely tube with flip open cap that makes it
quite travel and usage friendly.
2) Has a divine lemon and sugar fragrance which is quite
soothing.
3) Quite moisturizing for my hands. I also use it as cuticle
cream and it has worked well there as well.
4) Quite inexpensive for the price and quantity you get.
Cons:
1) Contains parabens.
2) I think the smell might be too sweet to some people's
taste.
3) Availability is a concern.
